The primer contains a tiny charge of a sensitive explosive, which detonates when crushed by a firing pin or heated electrically. So a source from Russia is always viased, when American source are always the absolute truth? Therefore the fired weight per second is usually more relevant for larger calibre guns. However, a 15" 38cm shell would completely destroy the boilers or engines, requiring complete new equipment whose installation would take well over six months. Penetration depends not only on what kind of shell is being fired and where it hits, but also on the angle and range of the gun relative to the target.

By leaving the deal, Iran may now want the bomb more than ever due to a deepening the sense of existential threat from the U. If conventional steel shot were used, then a gun as big as the BK 5 would be required to give such performance. All of the Soviet guns used conventional full-calibre steel shot, fitted with a windshield to improve the ballistic coefficient.
